Is the 1275 also an automatic and you intend to reuse the same transmission from your 998? Or is the 1275 engine also include the transmission?

I can recommend British Auto down by Sports Arena //britishautosd.com/

North County I can recommend Mel's Auto in San Marcos https://www.yelp.com/biz/mels-auto-repair-british-car-repair-san-marcos

I drive by here and see them working on classic minis,  i have never been in to the shop before

San Diego Mini Cooper Independent Garage
 
 
Address: 8360 Miramar Pl Suite A, San Diego, CA 92121

 

I know nothing about them.  I have just seen some classic minis there.  

 

I'm in San Diego, I have an engine hoist you can borrow if you decide to do the swap yourself



good luck

TIM

Hello, I just moved from SF to San Diego and am looking for a mechanic to work on my 1971 Austin Mini automatic. I found a 1275cc engine that I would love to get swapped out for my current 998cc. Any recommendations welcomed. Thanks in advance. I have a fantastic mechanic in SF if anyone needs one.
